- RACH SUCCESS RATE, affected by radio condition.
- SDCCH SUCCESS RATE, affected by SDCCH traffic capacity and
traffic load and radio condition.
- ASSIGMENT SUCCESS RATE, affected by TCH traffic capacity and
traffic load and radio condition.
CONGESTION RATE
- TCH CONGESTION
- SDCCH CONGESTION

Network Key Performance Indicator

Field Optimization KPI
- RX Quality
- RX Level
- SQI
- CSSR / Call Setup Success Rate (%) = 100x[(call setup blocked call)/call set up]
- Call Drop Rate (%) = 100x[call dropped/call established]
- Successful Call (%) = 100x[CSSRx(1-Call Drop Rate)]
- Handover Success Rate (%) = 100x[handover complete/(handover complete +handover failure)]

Network Key Performance Indicator
Network Management System KPI
- Perceive Drop Rate
- Call Minute Between Drop
- SDCCH Drop Rate
- Assignment Success
- TCH Congestion rate, TCH Blocking Rate
- SDCCH Congestion Rate
- Hand Over Incoming & Outgoing Success rate

1. Network Benchmark
2. Layer Management Optimization
3. Power Control Optimization : uplink/downlink PC strategy
4. Hardware Optimization
- Site availability
- Path Balance issue, More UPLINK pathloss possible caused by : RX cable loss, RX
Calibration problem More DOWNLINK pathloss possible caused by : TX cable loss,
Combining in TX path, LNA in RX path, reception diversity in receiver, TX calibration
problem
- Improper TRX loading (sleeping TRU) causes low TCH availability
- Antenna/Feeder related issue

5. Neighbor Topology Optimization
- Identifying and adding missing neighbor
- Deleting redundant neighbor
6. Coverage Optimization
- Identifying dragon cell, overlapped cell

17
Seven Step Model of Optimization Concept
(Intelligence system)


7. Frequency Planning
- Identify Co channel interference & Adjacent channel interference
- Identify external interference
- wide cluster frequency retune and implement SFH/FLP
- consider subscriber distribution
- weighted to high traffic areas
- All subscribers have equal weight

18
Some Optimization Recommendation
(other concept)
RF Power
Indoor & outdoor coverage/capacity issue
Antenna azimuth
Antenna down-tilt
Neighbor list
Co Channel & Adjacent Channel Interference
19
Data Collection and Analysis (other concept)
Provide Traffic density information per GSM Channel
Identification of Coverage hotspots
Identification of Quality hotspots
Identify overshooting/dragon cells
Identify areas with poor performance and high drop call
Identify areas with abnormal access failure
Provide network wide key BTS Performance Indicators
Provide network wide information on worst performing
(subscribers)
